Although the shows are not live, I’m still excited about this app…
AT&T app offers TV on iPhone, new BlackBerry
(CNN) — Users of the iPhone can now download and watch TV shows on the device, AT&T announced Monday.
Subscribers to U-verse, the communications company’s digital television package, will be able to browse the service’s TV guide, download shows via Wi-Fi and watch them anywhere, AT&T spokesman David Christopher said.
The app also will be available for the new BlackBerry Torch, which goes on sale Thursday, he said.
AT&T U-verse Mobile expands subscribers’ current ability to set DVR recordings and other settings remotely through their phones.
Shows won’t be available live, Christopher said, but users will be able to download them as soon as it’s cleared by the networks — usually a couple of days afterward.
The app will be available for 3G and 3GS iPhones and the iPhone 4, and to users with the mid-range and upper-tier U-verse packages. According to AT&T’s U-verse website, those packages start at $82 a month.
